The Heart of a Clown

Fred was a professional clown. His brother sent me a photo of Fred in his everyday attire and also a photo in his clown make-up and costume and requested I paint him using both photos. He wore a red padded heart on his clown suit and if you will look closely, I painted a red heart on his jacket. I love the message on his right hand glove.... HI. I used a full sheet of 300 lb Arches paper. Dick has this painting in his home in Ft. Meyers, Florida, to honor his brother's memory.
